God’s Plan for Development: Leading Others to Understand God’s Good Design

Designed to equip parents and caregivers of children ages 0-5 years with engaging, nurturing, and educational activities to support healthy attachment, an essential foundation for lifelong development, this 8-week curriculum has been used in a wide range of communities, from under-resourced to affluent, from ethnocentric to culturally diverse.

With structured time for adults and children to learn together followed by group discussions to explore the biblical and developmental principles behind each activity, God’s Plan for Development is suitable for church groups, parenting groups, neighborhood outreach, or as part of a daycare or school program.
